Potty Training Day 5: HELP!

I thought I had this process under control, well as under control as you can get. My toddler boy rarely had any accidents. He did a dance, we high fived with each success. I felt good until I started getting more and more attitude from my toddler. Then I turned to the interwebs for advice. [...]
